I have a beautiful 3/4 sleeve silk jacket that the sleeves are too long to be a true 3/4 and too short to be long sleeves. What, short of spending more money than the jacket cost new, could you do to make it so it doesn't look too small in the sleeves?
It was very fashionable in the '40s, even for winter coats. I picked up a vintage serbian lamb swing coat on ebay for cheap a few years ago b/c the seller thought the coat had been altered for someone with abnormally short arms! I got some close-fitting half-sleeve lavender gloves and a couple of big silver cuffs and it looked great.

I'm surprised I've never heard of it because I love the 40s clothes women wore. So classy. Sounds great. I'll do that myself.
